Sing along to The Sound of Music

The Rose is alive...

You do it at home— so why not make a night of it with family and friends?
Sing along to Julie Andrews and The Sound of Music when you attend a fun-filled evening at the Rose Theatre called Sing-A-Long-A Sound of Music.
The event, taking place on Saturday, Dec. 22 at 1 p.m., brings together fans of the classic film for a screening in the Rose Theatre and the opportunity to sing along.
Sit back, watch the musical play out on full-screen technicolour with subtitles to all of the audience can join in.
The show, which started in the U.K. in 1999, travelled around the world and has become a live-theatre phenomenon.
The afternoon begins with a vocal warm-up led by a host, who will take you through your complimentary “magic moments pack’ containing various props used throughout the show.
There is also the famous fancy dress competition, in which everyone who has come in costume (which is encouraged!) is invited to the stage to show off their outfits. Previous audience members have come dressed as:
• Nuns of both genders (including a pregnant nun!)
• Ray a drop of golden Sun (in a gold lycra catsuit)
• Girls (and boys) in white dresses with blue satin sashes
• A lonely Goatherd!
So get those vocal chords warmed up, cut up those chintz curtains and hurry down for a dose of the international smash-hit show. For more, visit www.singalonga.net.
It’s your chance to be part of a classic musical.
The costume parade begins at 1 p.m., followed by a screening of the film at 2 p.m.
